Term
Sickle Cell Disease due to mutation in ? ? of adult hemoglobin (Hb), the O2 transport protein in red blood cells
Definition
beta subunit
Term
Sickle cell disease only manifests when ? in common type, Glu6-to-Val mutation in Beta chain causes formation of hydrophobic patch on surface of beta chain
Definition
homozygous
Term
One symptom of sickle cell disease is ?, as well as swelling of extremities, higher risk of stroke and infection
Definition
anemia
Term
A treatment for sickle cell disease is hydroxyurea, which causes increased expression of ? Hb chain
Definition
fetal (y)
Term
What is the major RBC protein?
Definition
Hemoglobin (Hb)
Term
Total oxygen content = O2 on Hb (SaO2) + ? ?
Definition
dissolved O2 (PO2)
Term
What is Globin alone?
Definition
Apoprotein
Term
What is the heme (prosthetic group-tightly bound organic molecule) + the globin chain called?
Definition
Holoprotein
Term
Going from oxygenated to deoxygenated Hb, Iron does not change ? ?
Definition
oxidation state
Term
What is an O2 storage protein?
Definition
Myoglobin
Term
What is an O2 carrier protein
Definition
Hemoglobin
Term
? is found in the muscle,? is found in the erythrocyte
Definition

myoglobin

hemoglobin

Term
What has 1 Heme group (protoporphyrin IX)
Definition
Myoglobin
Term
What has 4 hemes (protoporphyrin IX)
Definition
Hemoglobin
Term
? has 4 globin chains (tetramer) (2 alpha types + 2 beta types)
Definition
Hemoglobin
Term
what has 1 globin chain (monomeric)
Definition
Myoglobin
Term
What has no allosteric effectors and a HYPERBOLIC curve
Definition
Myoglobin
Term
What has allosteric effectors (H+, CO2, 2,3-BPG, Cl-) and a SIGMOIDAL CURVE
Definition
Hemoglobin
Term
? = PO2 required for 50% saturation of the Hb (Ys = 0.5) A measure of oxygen affinity
Definition
P50
Term
What is a measure of the degree of cooperative interaction between oxygen binding sites. Binding of first O2 facilitates binding of 2nd, etc. (sigmoidal, nH (+) )
Definition
nH = Hill coefficient
Term
In the Hill Equation
Ys = (PO2)^nH / { (P50) ^ nH + ( PO2) ^ nH}
What does Ys represent???
Definition
Hemoglobin saturation
Term
What has an nH of 1.0 and a P50 of 2 to 3 torr and no cooperativity?!?!
Definition
Myoglobin
Term
What has an nH of 2.8 and a P50 between 26 and 27 torr with positive cooperativity
Definition
Hemoglobin
Term
Hill number can't exceed ?, which is the maximum cooperativity number.
Definition
4
Term
At birth 70 - 90% HbF is asymptomatic for beta chain defect. Thus ? and ? ? ? are not evident.
Definition
beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease
Term
? : Diminished production of alpha or beta chains. Leads to unstable forms of Hb that are not fully functional (i.e., no cooperativity or allosterism) and have low solubility
Definition
Thalassemias
Term
The allosteric protein of adult hemoglobin is inhibited by ?, ?, 2,3-BPG, and Cl-, which lower ? ?
Definition
H+, CO2
oxygen affinity
Term
In hemoglobin, O2 binding changes position of ? ion
Definition
Fe++
Term
Why does Hb release 66% of bound O2? Because of ? binding which lowers O2 affinity by stabilizing T-state. It promotes the release of oxygen and is an allosteric inhibitor that binds in center of T-state tetramer.
Definition
2,3-BPG
Term
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) binds to ? less than adult Hb
Definition
2,3-BPG
Term
2,3-BPG induces a shift to the ? of O2 dissociation curve
Definition
right
Term
? Effect: Higher acidity (more H+) gives more oxygen delivery and pushes curve to the right.
Definition
Bohr
Term
? effect: CO2 lowers affinity of Hb for oxygen. Moves curve to the right.
Definition
Haldane
Term
? Effect: Cl- likewise promotes formation of T-state. Interacts with positive side chains of deoxy Hb and stabilizes ionic interactions. Moves curve to the right.
Definition
Chloride
